As I walked out one evening To breathe the air and soothe my mind I thought of friends and the home I had And all those things I've left behind
A silent star shone on me My eyes saw a far horizon As if to pierce this veil of time And escape this earthly prison
Will there come a time when the memories fade And pass on with the long, long years When the ties no longer bind Lord save me from this darkest fear
Don't let me come home a stranger I couldn't stand to be a stranger Lord save me from this darkest fear Don't let me come home a stranger I couldn't stand to be a stranger
